Terra Nova

                                                                                                        Terra Nova

           A new world. Dark. Unknown. Instills fear. Fear or the unknown. Instills hope, hope of what it could have. You can see everything the way you want to, There's no RIGHT way of looking at things. Its something we call 'perspective' or 'point of view'.  I see this picture as me, stepping into the world of the unknown, knowing it would be a cake-walk, knowing it'a have to fight through it, knowing that happiness would not come easy. But who wants easy.

           In this picture I see room. space. openness. vacancy. Enough to accommodate all that i want and everything that i'm going to achieve here, in this 'new world'. It'd have to work hard, make sacrifices, put away my ego. Never an easy thing to do. But who wants easy.

          Its very interesting that we can actually get a rough idea about a person's nature just by noticing the way he perceives, the way he interprets, the way he looks at things. For example, the way he interprets and perceives a picture. It gives us a very clear indication. very clear.

         So life, for me is a picture, a still moment, in the present. Life is now, life is every moment, and its the way you see the moment that would determine your level of happiness and satisfaction. Don't let 'Terra nova' drive you away, cause it ain't going no where. Look at it like this picture, a moment, captured. Realize how stupid it is that your letting THIS instill fear into you. And step by step, moment by moment, smile and get through it :)!

Smile OK Please!

                                                                                            Smile OK Please!

Stands out. Tall and Bold. Somehow this photo gives me a very happy feeling! a flower in all its glory, like its calling out to the sky! Nice bright yellow flower, spreading its arms out wide, accepting everything that's going to come its way, good or bad and taking everything in its stride.

Well dont we all need this within us. And the fact that the zoom gets the flower under focus shows that by focusing on the right things in life, everything would be so beautiful, just like the picture!
The two small buds projecting out like hands and the flower seemingly smiling out widely! You know its not always that a flower can bloom. But we do have the choice of either remaining all gloomy or blooming and smiling all the way. :-) i do not need to tell you which one would make you 'happier' but yeah. Never forget to smile and look beyond! and more importantly, be happy and spread happiness! :-D

Love never dies.

                  Love never dies.

This picture is actually very special to me cause i remember that it was at this very outing that I fell in love with photography. I always wanted to play around with my dad's camera but this was when i thought, 'hold on, Im really not bad at this at all'.

This photo for me depicts various kinds of love and care. Four short trees, bang in the centre with o tall tree on each side. A dark background with the sun going down. It seems as if the two tall trees are protecting them, just like a perfect family. It looks as if the trees just had a family photo clicked for themselves and you can feel them smile too.! cause the whole setting is just so lovely.


The reflection of the sun in the water draws a line right through the center of the sea. To me this seems like a line between good and evil, separating them. And the trees stand right on the line, not belonging to either side. Its like they are taking neither stand. Sometimes its not about being good or being bad, its about doing the right thing whether it being good or bad. Thats what the trees depict, thats what they are trying to show.

Of course, there could be a million interpretations to this and I'm sure every reader has a different one, but this one's mine, this is how i see it.
If ever you have to chose between whats good and whats right, do what you feel but remember that its not always good whats right. Don't worry, be happy, spread the love..! :)

                                                                                   

Serenity

                                                                                  
                                                                          Serenity

Empty, clean, peaceful, clear, loads of space, void are just some of the words that enter my mind at my very first glance at this picture. This is like the perfect place to sit, just sit. Once your there, you actually have no option. 'Sit' is all you can do. The entire environment around comes to you, appeals to you. I assure you even the most evil and corrupt minds present in the world would not be able to tolerate the amount of positive energy exuded by this very place. Sitting here, as I type these sentences staring at the picture, i can feel something, maybe nothing. And maybe that 'nothing' is the something I'm feeling. It takes all my fears and worries, wraps it up in a small bundle of cloth and makes it seem so irrelevant and tiny, that they aren't problems anymore.


    What adds to the entire aura of the picture is the color 'green'. Green, along with white, stands for peace, harmony, serenity and calm. Thus the background being filled with trees, a nice expanse of well trimmed grass, open to the lovely sky above makes this a perfect place to sit and dream,dream openly, dream BIG.! :)

Choices

                        
                       Its our choice


Its very easy to play the blame game or sit back and cry and curse everyone when something goes wrong in our lives. This picture is a perfect example of how THAT very part of our behavior is absolutely wrong. Its our choice, what we do, what we wear, where we go, what we eat. Its we who select the path and face its consequences. Not destiny, not god, not anyone else. Yes, somethings are definitely pre-decided but thats not the point here. The point is that, Life is like the road above, branching out into smaller pathways. Some of them would give us exquisite, enjoyable times ( a private pool villa with a king-size bed, air-conditioned rooms, massive LCDs). Some might take us to times when we have to go through mixed emotions ( Good villa but no pool, air-conditioned but small average TVs with regular beds). But when we really take decisions out of anger or frustration or even haste, we're lead to sadness, further frustration, difficulties. 
           What we forget is that it was US, who took that decisive 'left' or 'right' in our journey, that caused the rest.Go along friends cause the road never ends, we've always had and will always have choices. Just make sure you make the right one next time. :) :P

Combination

                                                                              
                                                                             Combination


Life is beautiful. Irrespective of all the weird incidents that take place, all the difficulties, all the pain, all the unhappiness. There is always the other side of beauty, serenity, peace, happiness, containment. The above picture would look messed up at first glance. All sorts of colored tiles creating a vivid mosaic picture here. Let the colors be our emotions and the entire picture our life. If you look carefully, its the variety and the combination of colors in the picture that make it look simply exquisite.! Life wouldn't be worth appreciating if it were just full of sad or happy moments. But all together, it makes a really pretty picture isn't it.? Cheer up, show your teeth, spread the smile.. :-D

Innovation

Innovation

Very few people are actually able to decipher what the above picture shows. To all those who don't know what this is, the above SPECIMEN is actually a modified crazy ball, the small fiber balls that usually bounce and jump an extra 10-feet high. This one was slightly tweaked to stand out from the rest and hence i fell for it.

But to me, this actually inspires me to think, to innovate, to create. The weird bumps on its surface add to its entire appeal of mystery and the glossy stuff inside it makes it sparkle beautifully. To me, its a masterpiece, a work of a very creative and jobless mind. Imagine a normal, round crazy ball kept there instead of the present one. It would definitely make the picture LESS interesting ( i wouldn't say boring cause thats actually not true). Innovation, creation is what makes life so interesting and fascinating,. New discoveries, new ideas, new theories is what keeps our excitement going. At least it does to me. How important is innovation? For you, i have no clue, but for me, its like my daily dosage of medicine.!
